.SH NAME
mutool \- all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files

.SH SYNOPSIS
mutool <sub-command> [options]

.SH VERSION
mutool -v
.PP
Shows the MuPDF version used to build mutool.

.SH DESCRIPTION
mutool is a tool based on MuPDF for dealing with document files in various manners.
There are several sub commands available, as described below.

.SH DRAW
mutool draw [options] file [pages]
.PP
The draw command will render a document to image files,
convert to another vector format, or extract the text content.
.PP
The supported input document formats are: pdf, xps, cbz, and epub.
.PP
The supported output image formats are: pbm, pgm, ppm, pam, png, pwg, pcl and ps.
The supported output vector formats are: svg, pdf, and debug trace (as xml).
The supported output text formats are: plain text, html, and structured text (as xml).
.TP
.B \-p password
Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.
.TP
.B \-o output
The output format is inferred from the output filename.
Embed %d in the name to indicate the page number (for example: "page%d.png").
Printf modifiers are supported, for example "%03d".
If no output is specified, the output will go to stdout.
.TP
